Weather in August
Temperature
In Apalachicola, temperatures reach their average annual highs in August, measuring 87.4°F (30.8°C) and a minimum average of 79.9°F (26.6°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
Humidity
In Apalachicola, the average relative humidity in August is 74%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 25.2 days and typically aggregates up to 5.67" (144mm) of precipitation.Ocean temperature
The month with the warmest seawater is August, with an average ocean temperature of 86°F (30°C).Note: Many feel that waters warmer than 86°F (30°C) fail to offer the same rejuvenating touch.
Daylight
In Apalachicola, the average length of the day in August is 13h and 11min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 6:59 am and sunset at 8:32 pm. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 7:17 am and sunset at 8:03 pm EDT.
Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 8.9h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation. Take heed! Reflections of sand and water make the Sun's UV rays stronger.
